It would be crazy to operate ships solely with GPS data.


I'm sure the navy is aware of the threat and has standing procedures to prevent it - afaic high-ranking officers were sacked precisely because those weren't being properly followed. A huge container ship in a space as tight as the Malaga strait otoh probably has no procedure to deal with GPS being abruptly and subtly spoofed or even a way to detect it.
